Hi, my son of 20 years grinds his teeth a lot. He visited the dentist last week and she has said he needs veneers on his four front teeth as their particularly small. I am quite worried as he seems so young. Is there something else they can do? It seems she did not really consult him with any other option. I am also concerned because it seems from reading about them that they do not last too long. Can his teeth not be crowned? Please help.
My teeth are all brown and not in a good shape, the lower ones are crooked as well, they are very short, guess my biting isn’t very good or maybe I have a grinding problem, I am 46 years old and very desperate, could you please give me some advice and give me a rough figure of the cost? I have a very badly filled tooth and I can’t use my right side any more, on my left at the back, I have gaps and eating is becoming a nightmare. The front ones are chipping and biting is becoming a challenge, I can’t even bite into an apple, please give me all the options cause with my teeth to all get done it looks like it will be very expensive.
Hello,
Could you please tell me the options available for me? I chronically grind my teeth and have worn them down and they are starting to break up, mainly the upper left ones but also the other and it is causing me some pain. I have been given a mouth guard to wear during the night and have been told I should start wearing it through the day as well but that is an option I would like to avoid as it is quite unsightly and hinders my speech.
Thank you.
Hi, my mouth is ruined one from a bad dentistry from when i was a child and two from were i use to take drugs in the past and grind my teeth quite heavily in result to this. Also i have not been to a dentist for a check up in about 12 years. i have a feeling that i probably will need all my teeth out as a few of the back teeth are wobbly,broken and tend to cause me a great deal of pain. Just wondering but how much do new ones cost? and also i would want to be a sleep when anything is happening as iam scared of dentists, the only problems is that i dont work and have no money i get dla and income support and don’t know what if anything i can get on nhs, all i want is to smile again can anyone help me please? thanks alot for your time
hello Doctor.
question = I grind my teeth while sleeping very badly. My back teeth are worn down too much and my bite is too close which is uncomfortable and gives me headaches.I think I pull my lower jaw backwards to be able to close my back teeth. second problem is because of excessive grinding all my life I have lost most of my teeth and have either crowns or implants. I have a bar of 8 crowns held on by 5 implants at the top front of my mouth. I was never happy with them because the gum at the front shrunk as much that even with the bridge of 8 crowns it still looks like I have no teeth and they are not seen when I speak or smile. when I had my own natural teeth they were all showing at the front when I spoke or smiled. the bridge of crowns that I have just now have become loose and before I get them recemented I wanted to know if its possible to have the whole of the top set of teeth replaced so that they open my mouth more at the back and show more teeth at the front when I smile or speak. hope Ive explained that properly 🙂 thank you
Hello,
I had braces when i was 10 for 3 years! Unfortuantly they didn’t take any teeth out and now my front two teeth stick out and the gums have start to receed, i also suffer with grinding my teeth at night which has caused the back one’s much problems (i have been doing it since my grandad died when i was 15) and now my dentist wants to take one out as it’s causing me so much pain. The thing is i do not want it out as i am worried they will go even more wonky and cause me even more trouble, i can not afford braces as i am a single mum (I am working but still not alot of spare cash) is there any chance that i would be able to get some sort of insurance so i can claim for the braces or would the NHS do it for free seeing as they made the mistake in the first place? BTW i am now 24.
Thank you
